Answer:
It is 20. g HF
Explanation:
H2 + F2 ==> 2HF ... balanced equation
Since the question is asking us to find the mass of product formed, we will want to first convert the molecules of H2 into moles of H2 (we could do this at the end of the calculations, but it's just as easy to do it now).
moles of H2 present (using Avogadro's number):
3.0x1023 molecules H2 x 1 mole H2/6.02x1023 molecules = 0.498 moles H2
From the balanced equation, we see that 1 mole H2 produces 2 moles HF. Therefore, we can now find the theoretical mass of HF produced from 0.498 moles H2:
0.498 moles H2 x 2 moles HF/1 mol H2 = 0.996 moles HF formed.
The molar mass of HF = 20.01 g/mole, thus...
0.996 moles HF x 20.01 g/mole = 19.93 g HF = 20. g HF formed (to 2 significant figures)
Answer
I think it’s 5
Explanation
Fluorine 20 (F - Atomic number 9 and atomic mass 20). Firstly we need to know what is beta decay. Beta decay occurs when one neutron changes into a proton and an electron therefore the atomic mass will remain the same as even though we loose a neutron it is replaced by a proton, the atomic number is always raised by 1 when one beta decay occurs. The produced electron is shot out of the nucleus at an incredible speed. This speedy electron we call a beta particle.
Ok now the reaction.
20 20 0
F -> Ne + e
9 10 -1
Remember the atomic number determines the nature of the element ( i.e what elemnt it is).
Hope this helps :).
Answer:
The atomic number is the number of protons in the nucleus
